What it is
Starting a business requires choosing a legal form, registering with the Companies Register, filing with the Municipality's SUAP where required, and opening tax and social-security positions. We offer general orientation on the steps; deeds, articles and electronic filings are handled by notaries, commercialisti or other authorised parties.
